The news in Longmont, CO reports that the restaurant closed after a grease fire. K M Facility Services of Arizona has seen where kitchen exhaust systems that have been poorly maintained, cause grease fires. That is why we hold regular maintenance schedules with commercial kitchens. We perform kitchen exhaust inspections and remove buildup and grease that cause devastating fires.
How Do Grease Fires Happen?
Grease fires occur when collections of oil and grease on a stove, oven or fryer build up and become hot enough to ignite. In addition, a kitchen exhaust system that has failed to be cleaned regularly can also cause a grease fire to go out of control. As the fire spreads, it finds more fuel like cabinets and other flammable areas in the kitchen to continue causing destruction.
